    Trauma is not as much what happened to you as much as it is the story, the unmetabolized energy STUCK in your body!!! True transformation only takes place when you begin to learn about you and by uniting your MIND and your BODY together! In this membership we have a different theme each month and we meet LIVE weekly on zoom and work through the pieces of the healing journey together as a community.
    Affordable LIVE Support: Video courses are great, but they can never replace the valuable feedback you can receive by working with a live coach, together with other thrivers!
    Most coaches (myself included) charge an average of $125/hour for one on one assistance. In this economy that is very challenging! This membership offers between 9 - 12 LIVE meetings per month offering Group Support, Group Coaching, EFT Sessions, and Breathwork Sessions. Combining Cognitive Learning together with Somatic Modalities with Live Support. The value of this would be between $1,125 - $1,500. Yet you get ALL of this for just $79/month!
    You do not have to heal alone nor does it have to break the bank!
    IF YOU PREFER SELF PACED VIDEO COURSES HERE ARE MY MOST POPULAR COURSES:

    The moment I told my ex calmly "Stop... just stop, I know exactly what you're doing, I know everything. It's not going to work anymore" That was the final day he saw me. His eyes went black as they do and he unloaded the most abuse in that one instance simply because he knew he had no control anymore he pulled out all my old traumas, everything I never thought he'd do or say (the only thing I ever trusted him about was cheating) he told me he was going to bang another women that night and that I'm the ugliest B he's ever seen, not deserving of love etc. Just LOST his ish. Then finally for the first time physically harmed me. NEVER in 5 years did he touch me but lo and behold.... when you tell them you have them figured out... all bets are off to them. Scary

    Narcissists move VERY fast in relationships. It's not uncommon to hear, “I love you", and/or be bombarded with love songs/texts/memes a few weeks after meeting them. By rushing into sex/intimacy, they fast-forward the relationship. They get their targets to fall for them before he/she can realize something is amiss. I believe this is also the reason they tend to be VERY good lovers. Sex is usually the “hook” in toxic relationships. Narcissists lack genuine personalities. So, they mirror their targets. If you find you have “so much in common" with a new person, your likes are their likes, and your dislikes are coincidentally their dislikes as well, raise your antennas! They may be mirroring you. This is the “soulmates" hook… You'll also notice that they'll spend more time telling you who they are, verses showing you. As time goes on, you'll notice the words they used to describe themselves do not fit their personality - at all. But, they will fit YOURS!!! Passive-aggressive behavior and irrational/unexplained anger, are also major red flags. Pay attention to how a person treats you the first time you say, “No”, and/or when things don't go their way… If they give you the silent treatment, grow cold, and/or pull away, do not overlook it! Most importantly, if someone pulls away, or goes silent, after you set a boundary - DO NOT pursue them! This is how they groom you to be the chaser in the relationship. It's emotional abuse/manipulation! Pay close attention to people who portray themselves as victims. NOTHING is EVER their fault! EVERYONE, including the family pet, has done them wrong… ALL of their ex's are “crazy” and mistreated them… They’re great, but no one appreciates said greatness… Simply put, it's bullshit! No one should have a laundry list of bad experiences. If they do, RUN, because they're the common denominator! Narcissists tend to have a history of failed/short-term relationships. Believe it or not, it's hard for Narcissists to find people to deal with them long term due to their instability and poor behavior… Superficial relationships/friendships. I've noticed they don't have anyone they're genuinely close to. This is due to their inability to bond and form true attachments to people. Their relationships are shallow and based on surface-level bs. They'll refer to someone as their bestfriend, but you’ll notice they barely speak. Or, that the person is never really around. Or, only shows up when it's time to party, etc. They may also speak down on/poorly of said “bestfriend” behind their back. Narcissists tend to be condescending, two-faced and downright mean! Based on my experience, they cannot talk about deep subjects (i.e. fears/emotions). Or, how a situation truly made them feel. Or, what their childhood was like in detail… They don't want to go there. I suspect, it's because they can't. They don't know themselves well enough. They can't connect. They also live in a world of dishonesty. They're very dishonest with themselves about who they truly are. A poor relationship with their Mother/primary caregiver. Underlying issues between Narcissists and their Mother's (abuse, neglect, don’t get along, etc.), seems to be common. People that I've known who've displayed strong Narcissistic tendencies, ALL had bad relationships with their Mothers! I think it's worth mentioning, their Mother's also displayed strong Narcissistic traits… I'm fully aware and understand that there are healthy adults who have toxic Mother's. However, if you're spotting several red flags in an individual, including this one, pay closer attention! They're selfish! Some are selfish from the very beginning. Some start out generous and slowly begin withholding. Some act helpless and needy. They manipulate people into doing things for them, but never give back. It's not only financial and material selfishness. They're selfish emotionally, affectionately, conversationally. sexually and with their attention. They withhold validation and support. EVERYTHING has to be about them, their needs, their wants and everything happens on their terms. Anger, rage, silent treatments and disappearing acts are common - when they don't get their way. Pathological lying. Narcissists are professional liars. It's their second nature. If you call them out, they'll have no issue staring deeply into your eyes as they tell another lie! You'll hardly ever get the truth. Even with unchallengeable proof of the truth, they'll hold on to the lie. It's actually quite fascinating to see them in action - once you know what you’re dealing with. They also have the uncanny ability to provoke doubt in their victims (even when you KNOW the truth), because their lies are so convincing! Beware of people who do not seek conflict resolution. Many Narcissists enjoy drama/chaos! Remember, these are high-conflict personalities. Many of them NEED to argue and fight! Peace to a narcissist, is what chaos is to non-disordered people - unsettling. This is why they repeat behaviors that trigger a negative response. They need tension, anger and high/out of control emotions. They're known for calling people crazy, drama queens, insecure, etc., but never admit what they did to provoke those responses. And, when you attempt to discuss/resolve something, THEY said/did, they’ll gaslight, stonewall and/or flip it back on to you. They're extremely disrespectful, rude and lack self-awareness. They have an issue with being called out on their behavior and project/deflect to avoid accountability. “Normal” people want to get along, for the most part. So, they seek fair compromises when conflict arises. Narcissists want to “win” and conflict IS their niche. This is how many Narcissists get their way - they wear people down via conflict. Immaturity. It’s one thing to be playful and lighthearted (in appropriate settings), as an adult. It’s something completely different to be immature. Narcissists suffer from arrested development. They do not know how to respond to situations/people/stress/life appropriately. They have a child-like mindset. They truly believe everything is about them and have no concept of the needs of others. By nature, children are takers. They have no concept of reciprocation. They believe their Parents (and everyone else), exists to meet their needs. When their needs aren’t met, or they don’t get what they want, they become mean and throw tantrums. Narcissists cannot think outside of themselves and their wants/needs - like children. They’re completely unaware that people are individuals with their own agency, needs, wants, opinions... They truly believe people exist to serve them. They believe their job is to receive. They’re children trapped in adult bodies, who cannot consider anything/anyone other than themselves! Above everything I've stated, trust your intuition! Narcissists give off an uneasy vibe. They try very hard to appear cool, calm and collected - on the surface. But, you can feel their energy. It's very off-putting. They also tend to have more noticeable negative qualities, than most people. But, you have to stop justifying and making excuses, in order to see things clearly. Accept people for who they are and not who you want them to be. Observe, listen and trust yourself. No one should be allowed to grant themselves a position in your life. Vet people and YOU decide if they'll be a liability, or an asset, to you. Lastly, take cues from your body. If you ever feel your mood changing, feel anxious or feel your stomach knot up, in the company of someone, don't dismiss it! It could be a sign that you're in bad company!!!

    "The calmer you are the more chaotic they feel." Valid. When I confronted my ex narc about her cheating, she didn't apologize. She didn't deny it or admit to it. She criticized me for how calm I was behaving and used it as proof that I didn't care about her.

I expressed that she hurt my feelings and she said I didn't know you had feelings after 3 years. She cheated on me with my guitarist who is also a narcissist and they both have done terrible things in the community and I felt like my breakup was a tabloid at the grocery store for awhile but have been enjoying myself and my time putting pieces back together, just facing trust and motivation lately.

    The only way to take control from a narcissist is to get yourself from their domain first. You wont be able to figure out anything until and unless you are out of the hellish world. I will tell you one of my favourite stories. Once a King was too disturbed by everything that was happening around him. He felt as if no one was loyal to him and he was always afraid of his kingdom being attacked by perpetrators. He lost his sleep and his life had become hell. So he thought of taking a brief sojourn in the countryside. He passed through lush green fields and picturesque landscapes. The silent breeze that brushed through his hair filled his heart with joy. That is when he saw a farmer who was putting fence around his farmland. But his farmland had weeds all over and they hardly had any crops. This intrigued the King. He asked the farmer as to why was he putting a fence around the farm when the farm itself was covered with weeds. To this the farmer said that the farm was his own so he could get rid of the weeds whenever he liked. But he cant stop the stray dogs from running over his fields and destroying them. That is why he was putting the fence. To stop the stray dogs from venturing into the field. Once he was very assured about the security of his fields he can work on clearing the weeds and planting crops. On hearing this the King somewhat got the answer which he had been searching for. The human mind is also like the field. You cant control assholes from fiddling with your mind or saying bullshit. But you can definitely put a fence ( figuratively) so that these assholes cant influence you. And until and unless you dont put a fence you can never work on yourself. Once you have distanced yourself from toxic people then you can work on the healing process. Same is the case with narcs. Narcs are these stray dogs who suck your energy emotionally. They play mind games for fun because their mind wants melodrama. They hurt the very people who love them. So total isolation from these narcs is absolutely essential for the well being of your Mind. Once you are out of their mind games you can take decisions rationally. Narcs try to drain you emotionally. So everytime you respond to their low vibrations you tend to come to their level. But when you react confidently without panicking and without responding to their negative vibrations that is when you Win. When someone realises that you arent being influenced or being manipulated by their actions they will get tired of it. And after cutting them off completely from your lives you should work on your healing process. Work on clearing your mental clutter and keep yourself preoccupied. Read books and most importantly try to find your Purpose in life. When you find your Purpose you will be able to bear any pain in this World. Most importantly help others in need. When you find someone else who is stuck with a narc help them to get out of that. I feel this is the way to take control from a narcissist. P.S: I hardly find people around me who know about emotional abuse. But I think everyone should read and know about it. In today’s mean world you will find a lot of people who try to influence you or demoralise you using the sweetest of words. Its about identifying these covert manipulators and distancing yourself from them. I have immense respect for people who have survived narcissistic partners. They happen to be the most strongheaded and emotionally stable people you can come across. I learn a lot of things from them. Truly the broken will always be the most beautiful.

I never knew anything about narcissists, but when I came across a video about it around 5 years ago, suddenly everything made sense! It described my mother to a "T", and I understood what she had done to me, and why. And I finally understood that it wasn't my fault, it wouldn't have mattered who I was, she would have treated me the same.
      It's sad to accept, but now that I know we never had and never will have a real relationship, I can begin to move on and heal.

      I had to look up the definition of narcissist.
      Eye wide opened, hindsight 20/20
      She hit every sign& symptom!
      She had a real hard time for the next 1.5 years trying to gaslight me 😆
      Studying and trying to find a way to get her to therapy. No such luck.😒
      She left to live with her sister,1000 miles away.
      Within the first week, I noticed stress and anxiety cut down over 50% !!
      Although 20 years together, and serving her, the lonely feeling is hard to deal with!

    12:10 So true, They seem to have an innate ability to sense when you have truly dropped your guard. In George Simons Book Character Disturbance ~he says the main reason predators are so successful in manipulating others is not so much in there effective use of tactics, but rather in the RELUCTANCE of normal balanced people to make hash judgments about others and trust their gut instincts about the REAL person they are dealing with.

    If you notice, it only works on the type of person that they seek out. Someone who has a healthy respect for themselves, boundaries, and not coming from a place of lack, would never put up with their behavior and manipulation. We get so caught up in what “they” did and in a way victimizing ourselves. But what about what “we” allowed. That’s what needs to be investigated. They prey on a particular type of person. I went through this and Instead of being the one that this happened, I looked at it as the one that allowed it. It’s not comfortable but to avoid falling for and allowing that type of behavior I had to look real hard at myself.

    Watching your videos has been so healing. I grew up with a mother who always wanted me to be discontent & insecure, everyday she would call me nasty, cruel, miserable, unlikable, unpleasant & I became everything I thought she didn't want me to be because I wrongly assumed this made me victorious of my true self. I isolated myself & became extremely cynical, insecure, volatile, emotional, angry and discontent because I thought this was my identity only to realize I actually became exactly what she wanted & I was a projection of what SHE thought I was. The real me is kind, generous, secure, loving (with a healthy amount of negative emotions & boundaries) My mother thinks these traits are weak & she rejected all of it in herself & me. Everything she hates about herself, all of her insecurity is not my responsibility. I am not my mother. If she hates herself or a part of her personality, I don't have to hate those traits in myself. I am allowed to take back these parts of my identity she tried to make me feel ashamed of.

      We have a right to walk away and be who we are “authentically.” We’re never what others say we are, including our own parents. I’m also a parent and while being a parent can be challenging at times, it doesn’t give any parent a right to belittle and scapegoat their own children. It makes me sick to a point of blood pressure pills how many parents get away with this drivel.

    Married to a covert narcissist for fourteen years and found myself in a bemused and bewildered state trying to figure out my wife’s behaviour. Now I’m not a great believer in fate but I look at my YT feed one day and there is a video about NPD. Curious I open the video and watch with my jaw dropping on the floor as I learn about all the traits that I have been seeing exhibited by my wife over a long period of time. I watch a few more and suddenly the scales have dropped from my eyes. About an hour later my wife arrives home and coldly announces that she wants to end the marriage and separate. It was a shock to me and it is not pleasant as I go through the experience of being discarded, but I’m better prepared as a result of watching the videos. They continue to be a lifeline to me. Fate or something intervened.

      My mother does the exact same thing.
      And she has been my only consistent human “contact,” for the past decade, while under her “care,” while bedridden/housebound.
      She will only excitedly talk to me if it’s gossiping or about shopping and beauty (I’m even a former hairstylist and couldn’t care less about talking about those things, with her. I was obese, due to undiagnosed adrenal issues, growing up - before plus-size clothing was as prominent as it was.. Only thing we ever did together was shop - and I was always so miserable, because most places didn’t have clothing that fit me; while she was able to shop anywhere. I will admit, though, she did put in effort to go to places that had clothing to fit me, however).
      My mother will hardly even respond to me, if she is on her phone.
      I went to my very first heavy metal show the other night, in a decade (I am autistically obsessed with heavy metal music) - and had such a great time.
      She asked if I had a good time, via text - as a hoovering method.
      Though, when I saw her next - she couldn’t have cared less about hearing anything about it.
      Yet, if I start up a conversation with someone, about heavy metal music, and she is around..
      She ALWAYS jumps in with how her “favorite” band is Killswitch Engage, and about the one year I bought concert tickets, for “her” birthday.
      1). KsE is MY favorite heavy metal band - and was my gateway into heavy metal music, period. She knows who this band is, because I had an autistic obsession, and played their concert DVD until I almost wore it out, while we lived together.
      2). Hers and my birthdays are five days apart. I bought US concert tickets, for US to go, for OUR birthdays - because I knew she enjoyed the band and going with me, to a degree (I mean, the fellas are super goofy and charismatic - they are incredibly likable dudes, as a band; so, I can’t blame her for becoming engaged. No pun intended, lol).
      She knows of no other metal bands, so, she says the same thing EVERY DAMNED TIME.
      Hell, the other day, I picked her up, to go to the Farmer’s Market.
      She was wearing the same dress, as me.. The same shoes (in all fairness, she told me where to buy the shoes) - and her hair was curled, similar to the way I normally (and naturally) wear mine.
      Ever since I got super stoked on a leopard print guitar strap, that looked beautiful on my new guitar - which, leopard print has been one of the only prints I’ll wear, for over fifteen years..
      She started buying and wearing leopard print.
      She’s 62.
      Narcissists will work to destroy you, in one way or another..
      Either by doing everything they can, to contribute to your downfall..
      Or try and, actually, become you.

    I just found out, beginning a little over two weeks ago, that my Wife of six-and-a-half years is a Christian Covert Narcissist. I am going to have to begin de-toxing ASAP, as soon as we're out of here, my Mother (whom I have responsibility of due to her stroke last November) and I. Since I am also a Combat Vet that has been dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Severe Depressive Disorder, that puts me at an even higher risk of having something physiologically bad happen to me. I think it's time to send a message to the VA to have someone I can counsel with.
    Thank you for this video... I've been studying for a little over two weeks and I've come to get the PhD concerning NPD, but until this video I did not understand the utter damage that is taking place inside me and it needs to stop before bad things begin to happen.

    Narcissists do the opposite of what is right. That’s what makes them so cruel. If they’re capable of crazy-making and gaslighting you to get their way, if they’re capable of giving you the silent treatment knowing you’re in pain and looking for answers, if they’re capable of destroying your reputation by starting a smear campaign and if they’re capable of triangulating you with their flying monkeys so they can humiliate you…then why in the world wouldn’t they be capable of something like cheating? Narcissists are entitled. Narcissists lack empathy. Narcissists are delusional enough to justify their actions. They have all of the ingredients for being a cheater. They’re known for cruel and devastating discards, but somehow they would stop at cheating on you because they have morals and just couldn’t go through with it? No one can truly believe that. The narcissist believes he’s so slick that the other person’s name will actually come up in conversations, if you’re paying attention. But the narcissist will mention them with disgust, as if he wants nothing to do with them. “I can’t stand working with Karen. She annoys me everyday and I can’t believe the things she wears sometimes.” It’s a test to see how you respond to this name coming up periodically. It’s also a way for the narcissist to gain some sadistic glee because they can talk about the other person with you while you’re not yet aware of this person’s role in their life. When they drop the bomb on your head and the realization hits that they’re leaving you for “that Karen” they’ll be overjoyed. If you’re with a narcissist you should be prepared for the push and pull, the other women or men popping up or even outside children. They can’t even be trusted to show up to an event on time. They certainly can’t be trusted with your heart. Additionally, There are many ways to f!nd out what someone is hiding from you in their phones. These several ways only need the ass!stance of someone who has the knowledge $py!ng and can hàck into phónes and social media. For hélp, contact Metaspyhub@gmail. com for ass!stance.

Trying to get them to respond in a certain way, only lengthens the time of the abuse. Only if you have to stay until you can leave, should you try methods to keep yourself grounded. Some methods that are geared to help the victim, only anger the narcissist more. They can get very vindictive. Multiple narcissists in my life, did. Scary people

I found the truth of everything. No, I am not the narcissist, she is. My reactions to the abuse caused me the worst problems. My oldest daughter just stopped speaking to me a few years AFTER everything and I know darn well that someone else was talking in her ear. My youngest daughter has stopped calling me dad, daddy, or even father. After everything I wouldn't be surprised if she shamed them or convinced them that they hate me and that I don't DESERVE (one of her favorite words) to be called dad, daddy, or father. This all really isn't just the result of marrying a narcissist, I've learned that my own dad was a narcissist. False affections, emotional neglect and abuse from him then only to become a victim of someone else.
    Yeah, she knew that she depleted me. With how it ended with her natural cold self as if she had accomplished something, she did, but I wasn't fully aware of what the hell she did, I'm still struggling but I will never let her know that.

      "Once i was blind but now i see". Those words stick to me since i learned what narcissism is. When i was younger i thought that there are just "bad personalities" or people that are hard to deal with. Now i see mental illness. People who actually should be in a mental hospital but no, they are free and around us, looking for another good heart to destroy.
      My sister is a narcissist and my mother also (but my mother is much easier to deal with). I was the scapegoat. Its hard for me watching back. I am 38 and alone. No family or kids. No self esteem :(. I try to build myself up...
      I dated a female narcissist for 6 months last year. She tried to humiliate me completely. Then i totally blocked her and i just understood that she must have something like "borderline disorder" or "shizophrenia". And after i got a new job at a different department, 6 of my colleauges told me that our team leader is definitely a narcissist and finally i discovered the right term for this plague, !!!BOOM!!! everything became so clear. Its like watching a movie about your past life and get a total different interpretation.
      Damn :( , realizing that your family members are "sick" is hard. My best friend... i was 9 years loyal to this guy..., was also a narcissist but i didnt realize it back then. Today i understand why i was so depressed and thought so much about suicide.
      I hope your kids will see through your wifes strategy one day. Stay strong. Since you know that she and your father are narcissists, its already a relief. Its like suffering your whole life by a unknown illness and now you found the right diagnose. Not a cure but at least you know what you are dealing with.
      I only now, with 38 understand why my father was much happier at work ( working 50-60 hours a week) than at home. He was allways somewhere but not there for me. He didnt do know sh*t about narcissim but his subconsciousness told him to leave the mad b*tches.

      Day after day battling with myself,
      Filled with bitterness and pain,
      Lost within my own hell,
      Breaking under the strain,
      Lashing out at everyone,
      And they do not know why,
      Broken and lost as I come undone,
      Pouring out this hate of mine,
      Self esteem eaten away,
      Confidence long since dead,
      Looking for someone to pay,
      Only to regret everything that I've said,
      Condemned
      Condemned by my own guilt,
      Locked inside with no way out,
      Mirror reflects the rotting wilt,
      Heart filled with nothing but doubt,
      I've paid a heavy price,
      I've lost my way,
      But I continue to fight,
      These chains of hate,
      Condemned
      Trapped within my own mind,
      Convinced that it's what I deserve,
      Reaching out to the light,
      But afraid that I'll get burned,
      Condemned
      Condemned to this personal hell
      I've forgotten how to live,
      I'm just a walking corpse,
      Isolated I have to stay hid,
      As my sentence runs it's course,
      Judge as I have judged myself,
      Don't give them the upper hand,
      Share a little of my hell,
      I've become a foolish and bitter man,
      Lost to who I use to be,
      No one could understand,
      Too weak to break free,
      A sorrowful and pitiful man,
      Condemned
      Condemned by my own guilt,
      Locked inside with no way out,
      Mirror reflects the rotting wilt,
      Heart filled with nothing but doubt,
      I've paid a heavy price,
      I've lost my way,
      But I continue to fight,

      ​@TawnaTV I'm going to try that. It's been a lifetime of everything being about other people, and that's not working out too well anyway. 😂❤

      Your lesson is truly loving yourself and setting boundaries that honor your values.

    It’s crazy to think that my ex narcissist fiancée made me act like her! She love bomb me, de value me, held sex, the emotional roller coaster crap, she was blaming it on her hormones bs, I adjusted, accepted her excuses in the end it made me different, it made difficult to deal with while I was with her then blaming me for being moody, sensitive blah blah blah, my goodness, thank god I started studying philosophy and that’s where I really started noticing changes not that I didn’t noticed before but I really started seeing what it is. So I started matching her energy, I guess I became a narc temporarily, she gave me silent treatment for a month then broke up. Man I felt so relieved, I moved out, healing and reflecting. Btw, she’s still in contact with me telling me she’s depressed blah blah blah. I wish the next dude the best! FELLAS, DONT IGNORE RED FLAGS.

    My life right now is complete hell. As I continue to work more and more on myself after discovering that I have CPTSD I'm finding myself in the middle of a very intense silent treatment and I am an emotional wreck. I found a letter on the computer that is saying that she wants me out because she can't handle me any more. She's employing the flying monkeys and getting the smear campaign going full force... it's just so messed up. This video really helps me gain a perspective on where I need to focus my personal work to not provide the supply that is being prodded for.
